“The film is clearly destined for cult status, and is just as ramshackle as any Blues Brothers or Spinal Tap was in its day.
Love them/it or loath them/it, the point of Kneecap is that they genuinely don’t care.”

RT if Ireland should follow suit 🇮🇪 – at Fingal, Ireland
SOUTH AFRICA APPROACHES THE INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE UNDER THE GENOCIDE CONVENTION WITH RESPECT TO ACTS COMMITTED BY ISRAEL IN THE CONTEXT OF ITS ATTACKS ON GAZA
South Africa is gravely concerned with the plight of civilians caught in the present Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip due to the indiscriminate use of force and forcible removal of inhabitants.
Furthermore, there are ongoing reports of international crimes, such as crimes against humanity and war crimes, being committed as well as reports that acts meeting the threshold of genocide or related crimes as defined in the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Genocide, have been and may still be committed in the context of the ongoing massacres in Gaza.
I have some work in this beautiful publication, along with some brilliant photographer's and writers.
We are delighted to announce the arrival of our 2nd book, the 2nd also in the Exchange Series. New writing and photographs on #Dublin a city in flux. Available to pre-order now from @TLP_says and via this link

Such an iconic image of Tony Gregory on his bike with Haughey in the inner-city, a block of flats behind them.
Peter Thursfield RIP. Fond memories of a former colleague who served @IrishTimes as photo editor and, before that, as a frontline snapper. His photos of Charlie Haughey here provide a snapshot of his talent

Over 3,000 people, including mothers with babies and schoolchildren, queue in Dublin for Christmas food vouchers.
This in a city that is apparently the "wealthiest" in Europe if you use the broken metric of GDP per capita.

Cait O'Riordan singing 'I'm A Man You Don't Meet Every Day', the piper's solo, and Maurice MacGowan's reaction was just one of so many beautiful moments from Shane MacGowan's funeral. #ShaneMacGowan
